Another great light is born. LOL Good job Justin, looks like an expensive name brand light.

I have that clear tubing on my stage bottles as well. Those stainless steel clamps are sharp, I've cut myself on them several times, so I figured it was a good idea to keep from cutting something expensive like a BC.

Keep up the good work guys the lights are looking great.
 
Nice lights. I have a question about flattening the PVC. I have a PVC heating gun, but couldn't I place the pieces in the oven on 250 degrees or greater and soften the PVC until I could flatten it between two pieces of wood or something else.

Yes, that works much better but try 400 degrees for 4 to 5 minutes. Set a couple of scuba tanks on top of the plywood and let it cool.
